Answer:

1:6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x/8 = 9y/4

Multiply by 8

3x = 9y/4 *8

3x = 18 y

Divide by 3

x = 18y/3

x = 6y

The ratio is of x to y is

The points (4, -11) and (8, r) lie on a line with slope 2. Find the missing coordinate r.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The answer to your question is r = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (4, -11)

B (8, r)

slope = m = 2

r = ?

Process

1.- Use the slope equation to find the coordinate r.

Formula

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitution

$m = \frac{r + 11}{8 - 4}$ = 2

2.- Simplify

$\frac{r + 11}{4} = 2$

3.- Solve for r

Multiply both sides by 4

$\frac{4(r + 11)}{4} = 2(4)$

Simplify

r + 11 = 8

Subtract 11 in both sides

r + 11 - 11 = 8 - 11

Simplify

r = -3

One and a half x + 3/4 x equals 5/8

USPshnik [31]

1 and 1/2x+3/4x=5/8
combine x's
1 and 1/2x=4/4x+2/4x=6/4x
6/4x+3/4x=5/8=9/4x
9/4x=5/8
multiply both sides by 8
18x=5
x=5/18
